Cheetahs

Super Rugby format could work for Cheetahs

While many Super 14 fans might be sceptical about the expansion to a Super 15 rugby tournament the Cheetahs feel that they may benefit from the expansion.

Historically the Cheetahs have struggled against Australian and New Zealand teams so they may welcome the addition of more matches against South African teams.

Whilst there is the addition of a new Australian team in the Melbourne Rebels the new format also sees more home derbies as team’s in their countries play the other teams in their own country on a home and away basis.

Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske says that the new format could play into the Cheetahs hands.
